Rita Moreno Reveals The Difficult Truth About 45-Year Marriage To Late Husband
HuffPost
The 92-year-old "West Side Story" legend didn't hold back on her married life.
Rita Moreno said Wednesday she “probably” stayed in a marriage with her “controlling” husband for their daughter’s sake, and that “having to be with somebody forever and ever is not necessarily a fabulous thing.”
The “West Side Story” legend got extremely candid with People while discussing her 45-year marriage to Leonard Gordon, who died at age 90 in 2010.
Gordon was a doctor who became her manager in the 1980s. They had a daughter, Fernanda Luisa Gordon, in 1967.
Eventually, “things began to get very tense,” the EGOT winner confided to People. “And if it were not for my daughter, I probably would have left.”
Moreno said she and Leonard had an understanding.
